Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing.

We are the only music school in Tulsa that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), medals AND certificates for passing musical tests and levels. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces (see pictures to the left) by giving them full color, really cool “Good Life” wristbands that they can show off to their friends. The Good Life Certification Levels is our unique method of music education that you can only get here. More importantly when our students have an interview/jury coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, and everybody wins. You can only get the Good Life Certification Levels here. We also specialize in unique music lessons for adults through our lesson packages and premier services.
